Since the 1980s, air pollution has increased worldwide, but it has increased at a much faster pace in regions close to the equator. The work provides strategic insight on where in the world to reduce emissions of pollutants that form ozone. Jason West, corresponding author. —Owen R. Cooper, co-author. Yuqiang Zhang, Owen R.

Air pollution is a ubiquitous problem and comprises gaseous and particulate matter (PM). However, the majority of such models represent high levels of exposure and are not representative of the exposure levels in less polluted countries, such as Australia. To understand the mechanisms involved, animal models are often used.

The California Air Resources Board has approved a multi-pronged regulation that will significantly reduce NO x emissions from heavy-duty diesel trucks. These NO x reductions are the equivalent of taking 16 million light-duty cars off the road in 2031. For context, California currently has 26 million registered light duty vehicles).

However, while greenhouse gases cause warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere, some aerosols can have a cooling effect on the climate because the aerosol particles cause more of the sun’s light to be reflected away from the planet. Estimates indicate that aerosols have offset about a third of greenhouse gas-driven warming since the 1950s.
